V8

A recipricating machine consiting of eight cylinders in the "V" configuration,introduced in the 30's more efficient V8's are introduced with every generation. Pre 1975 V8's were high compression engines that could run 115 octane gas and produce 3-400 ft lbs of torque and 3-400 horsepower.Post 1975 V8's were low compression engines that ran on lower octane unleaded fuel and were less powerfull but didnt disperse as much lead into the air. In the recent generation V8's that utilize fuel injection are more effiecent combusting devices and still produce sufficient power. As the 2000's lead on smaller displacement V8's are more powerful than previous big displacement engines. Computer modules help effientcy of V8's (and any other engine) with emissions,gas mileage, and constant performance. Ignorant people tend to say " look under the hood of your 2005 dodge hemi so many wires and computer bullshit that means more problems compare it to my 67' bronco 302 it has starer wires and a gas line it is so much more relible.screw all of that computer shit" they say this because not only do they not know anything about a car or how to fix one, they do not realize the fact that if older cars were so good then how come carboraters still arent around on cars? how come we still arent producing the model T? oh wait a minute its called TECHNOLOGY and efficientcy. Most other ignorant people tend to think V8's should stop production because the are "gas hogs" if thats the case lets put a 1.5 4 banger in 1 ton trucks. Take a look at the 5.7 litre dodge hemi with MDS (multiple displacement system) it has the potential of 20 + mpg and still has awesome power. its because in low rpm situations such as highway driving, lower oil pressure shuts down eight hydralic lifters shutting down 4 cylinders which has a great benifit for gas mileage. its good on gas and is a powerful monster. most rice burner wiggers tend to think 1.5 litre 4 cyl motors with a lot of juice can win any race. but its all aftermarket add on bullshit.take a jeep WK with a hemi and it would beat the shit out of a honda civic. hell a jeep WJ with a 4.7 cant beat the shit out of a honda civic 4 banger. Excuse me a jeep XJ with a 4.0 litre I-6 can beat any rice burner on the street. a hemi is more powerful out of the box than any supra. period.
